A new survey has revealed that 'Moon River' from the film 'Breakfast' is the best lullaby parents sing to make their little ones sleep.

The BT survey conducted on 2,000 parents disclosed that parents took to hip-hop and football chants for rocking their babies off to sleep and 37 per cent voted for 'Ice ice baby' by Vanilla Ice, the Mirror reported.

According to a spokesperson for BT, parents were less familiar with classics and were nowadays creative in making their toddlers sleep.

It was also found that 25 percent of dads opted for sporting lullabies like Liverpool's 'You'll never walk alone' and England rugby team's 'Swing low sweet chariot'.

The survey also found that 90 per cent of parents preferred the top favorite lullabies Humpty Dumpty and Three Blind Mice.

'My way' by Frank Sinatra and 'Stay with me' by Sam Smith were among the others on the list.
